Football: Top Performers, Week 3

Each Monday, we like to show a little recognition for the standout players from the weekend’s slate of games. Here’s the area’s best from Week 3.

Passing

1. Rayjohn Austin-Ramsey, Judson: 15 of 20, 302 yards, five TDs
The Rockets’ high-flying spread is fully operational now. Most impressive about RAR’s night is that almost all of his work was done in the first half as Judson built a 43-7 halftime lead over completely overmatched East Central.

2. Jordan Sneed, Warren: 12 of 16 passing, 268 yards, five TDs; 60 rush yards, one TD
Sneed had a couple of rough outings in losses to Churchill and Brandeis. He regrouped to torch Jay for six total TDs and spread the ball around to five different receivers.

3. Andrew Hawkins, San Antonio Christian: 18 of 26 passes, 291 yards, three TDs
The Lions got their post-Corey Robinson-era offense in gear in a 35-11 win over Blanco, with the junior QB breaking out. He’s developed a nice connection with Turner Goudge, who had seven catches.

Rushing

1. Justin Stockton, Steele: 16 carries, 283 yards, four TDs
Thisi is what Stockton is capable of when playing a full game (well, three quarters at least). Stockton torched an Austin Westlake team many view as the favorite in Region II. He’d certainly welcome a second chance at the Chaps in the playoffs.

2. Travis Pospisil, Boerne Champion: 24 carries, 305 yards, three TDs
Last year when Champion faced Marble Falls, the state passing record books were rewritten. This time, Pospisil provided with big numbers on the ground in a 59-37 win.

3. Derrick Santos, Poteet: 22 carries, 246 yards, four TDs
Always like it when a small-town kid puts up a huge game. Let’s show some appreciation to Santos, whose big game gave the Aggies their first win of the season against Charlotte.

Receiving

1. Ashten Glenn, MacArthur: 10 catches, 232 yards, three TDs
The Brahmas have struggled to an 0-4 start, but Glenn has been lighting it up. After his huge game in a loss to Round Rock Cedar Ridge, Glenn now leads the area with 29 catches for 573 yards. Does NEISD have the best receivers around? Hard to say no.

2. Andre Wilson, Judson: Four catches, 121 yards, three TDs
If Wilson’s performance against East Central taught Judson fans anything it’s that the offense needs to just get him the ball and let him do the rest. He flashed some fantastic open-field moves to rack up his yards.

3. Chris Adams, Lee: Five catches, 81 yards, four TDs
The scary part about Adams’ big game in a win over Jefferson? He was targeted plenty more times. QB Freedom Salas has an underrated WR corps to work with.

All-around

1. Garrett Smith, Smithson Valley QB: 10 of 13 passes, 228 yards two TDs; 16 carries, 129 yards, one TD
Smith had his coming out party on TV Thursday night as he led the Rangers to a complete rout of No. 1 Madison. I feel like he and Ty Summers would be friends given their identical skill sets. Speaking of Summers…

2. Ty Summers, Reagan QB: 12 of 23 passes, 117 yards; 15 carries, 182 yards, two TDs
The dual-threat QB keeps on producing and no late comeback was needed this time against Laredo United. Still, that didn’t stop the Rattlers from scoring 29 fourth-quarter points in the 62-40 win.

3. Andres Aguilar, Edison RB: 25 carries, 115 yards, four TDs; Two catches, 75 yards
Aguilar provided the Golden Bears with all the offense they’d need in a victory over Sam Houston. Next week he faces a ruthless Brennan defense in the district opener.
